Production - You get a tank, you get a tank, everybody gets a tank!

Currently uses an advanced rottenburg mission while the map itself is being worked on. Feel free to make your own missions for it!

Current (known) bugs:
-Sentry busters explode immediately after spawning

-Bots that spawn in 'loading zone B' will often choose not to leave. Walking close to the entrance fixes this in most cases.

-Spies can spawn at the very back at the map and stay there until a player is nearby

+Increased mission difficulty and generally improved it
Multiple points in the mission were far too easy for 6 competent players, so waves have been changed, buffed, and enhanced.

+Added new bomb and tank route through the warehouse
This should hopefully make it harder to defend as bots have additional avenues of assault

+Added small ramp in robot spawn area to make it easier for bots to reach players

The first area felt more like a tower-defence than anything else, and melee bots weren't threatening at all because of that.

+Changed Skybox and Environmental settings
Looks more unique now, i'd say.

+Fixed a LOT of bugs
Self-explanatory

This update is aimed towards making it easier for others to create missions for this map, as well as making some balance changes.

+Improved navigation mesh
Bots tended to get caught up in some areas, this should be fixed now.

+Added many new nav_prefer areas for mission-making
Check the diagram below for more info!

-Removed engineer-bot teleporter build points
The map was a bit too small for engie teleporters, so now they will only build sentries.

-Removed bomb route through warehouse
This route was considerably superior to the other routes, and defending this route was a bit too difficult. Robots can still travel through the route, but not bomb-bots. See below for more info.

+Added door to warehouse route
This door blocks off the warehouse from the distillery, and is destroyed when a tank passes through it, opening up the route for other bots. (But not the bomb). Because of this, I recommend having tanks spawn late in the wave if you're planning on making any missions for this map.

+Added more detail
Mostly windows lol

+Increased train damage
The train only did 4000 damage per second in the previous version, which is nowhere near enough to insta-kill most giants. Damage value has been raised to 50000 per second. Additionally, the trigger_hurt volume has been increased.

+Made multiple balance changes to the mission
Some waves were too easy, some were too hard. Should be as least a little better now.

+Several clipping improvements

+A ton of bug fixes

Been a little while since the last update, huh?
This update is a bit of everything, a bunch of detail, gameplay, and support changes have been made.


+Improved navigation mesh
Bots (still) tended to get caught up in some areas, this should be fixed now.

+Added extra detail
This includes many areas, including out-of-bounds and skybox.

+Optimisation pass
This is the first stage of optimisation, areaportals and the like will be next.

+Made multiple balance changes to the mission
I'm pretty happy with the mission as it is now, likely only needs some minor changes now

+Added extra 'for-fun' mission
This mission is very broken and awful.
I encourage you to get 6 players and max out all upgrades for this mission, then it's pretty fun
Neko


+Several clipping improvements

+A ton of minor bug fixes

+Probably a bunch of other things I can't recall


Known issues:
Some bot holograms do not enable for the first wave (jeez, when am I gonna fix this?!)
New mission is shit

Plan for next version:
Changes as a result of player feedback

Finally got a map to RC!

+Teleporters are back
Was kind of a stupid idea to remove them in the first place, seeing as how you can just choose whether engi bots build them or not through the popfile.
+Lots of extra detail
This includes sound, geometry, particles, lighting, areas, and more
+Mission Balancing
Mission is now final (though subject to a few tweaks)
+Skybox improvements

That's all folks.

Would love to give this map a shot, although I'm a little sad that it only has one mission.

Could you consider clipping this window a bit better, I keep getting stuck against it while fetching ammo and it's driving me bonkers
